What is a full-size pick-up truck?

Share

A full-size pick-up truck is primarily distinguishable by the superior engine power it delivers as compared to light and medium-duty pick-ups. While there is not much difference in the size of the pick-ups, light-duty or passenger vehicles are designed with light-engine capabilities, mid-sized trucks are designed to deliver robust performance while full-size pick-ups offer enhanced power. Heavy-duty pick-up trucks offer even more power than full-sized pick-up trucks and are designed to be about the same size imprint.

Depending on the type, pick-ups also come with different kinds of tyres to best suit the vehicle’s utility. When considering between whether to invest in a mid-sized or full-sized pick-up truck, be sure to consider what the truck is for, utility or lifestyle and act accordingly. Most medium pick-up trucks serve perfectly for average payloads of around 1400 pounds, whereas the carriage of any loads above 2000 pounds would ideally require the use of a full-size pick-up. Moving frequent payloads of around 7000 pounds would need a heavy-duty pick-up.

Just like light-duty pick-ups, full-size pick-up trucks also offer all modern features and technology serving both utilitarian needs as well as lifestyle aspirations of buyers.
